Narendra Modi spoke at the 'Shankhanaad rally' in Dehradun in Uttarakhand.

Here are the highlights:

»May God give me the strength and blessings to give back to you what you gave me.

»We can generate power through water in the mountains, but these people have no time.

»There is so much water in the hills but the nation is in darkness. What is the reason behind it?

»Uttarakhand is already an SEZ - Spiritual
Environment Zone.

»Terrorism divides, tourism unites. And Uttarakhand is a tourism hub.

»The youth of Uttarakhand is leaving because of lack of opportunities. »There is scope for tourism but no growth.

»These people want trains to come to Delhi but not to the country's heart Uttarakhand.

»There are no schools for adventure tourism, should set up such places.

»Uttarakhand is special because from this land come people who give their lives for the nation.

»We need new thinking and commitment for the progress of Uttarakhand.

»If you (Rahul Gandhi) care so much about Lokpal, why didn't your party pass the bill in Uttarakhand.

» Assembly poll verdict clearly shows which way the wind is blowing. It is the beginning of Congress- free India.

»You've experimented a lot, trust us once. I promise we will do everything to fulfill your dreams. I am grateful to people of Uttarakhand, can't forget their love and affection.
